---Add the horror of lynchings -- more than 3,400 from 1882 to 1951, according to records of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama -- and African Americans in the United States have undergone tremendous trauma, she said.---
That's a little less than 50 a year. How many whites have been horribly murdered during that time? How many children? How many horrible car accidents are there a year? We should all be cowering under our beds frightened to death of cars! 1951?
That was 54 years ago!
In a series of long essays, this book presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous actions, policies, and trends. It presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen as a unique black identitya culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves friends of blacks. An essay titled The Real History of Slavery presents a jolting re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted way it is too often seen today.
